Arduino MQTT convert

Community Help With My Project
1

Hi,
after 14 january my device stopped. Then I try to convert my sketch to MQTT.

I have a problem with library Timer.h it seems to be in conflict.

error: redefinition of ‘class Timer’
error: ‘Timer’ has no member named ‘update’
error: ‘Timer’ has no member named ‘pulse’

In my original sketch I have a defined a

// Timer
Timer t;

and then I use

void loop()
{
//Cayenne.run();
Cayenne.loop();
// Update timer t
t.update();
//
}

and in a function

t.pulse(RELAY_DIGITAL_PIN5, 1500, 0); //pin, time(milliseconds), initial state

Thanks to those who will help me.

Fabio

it looks like the initializer “Timer” or “t” is being called more than once in some way. Did you recently change the instance “t” from something else? Could we see the whole code to help more?

Thanks

Here is your error, you did not define them in your code.

update and pulse is defined in library timer.h. With old sketch ( not MQTT ) it was six months that it worked without any problem.

Try to change Timer t; to Timer timer_something; also in rest of the code t to timer_something.

I agree with @Agroelektronik . Change your “t”. It is prob conflicting with a variable in one of your libraries.

8

No way. The error is always the same.

I think the problem is the class Timer that is in MQTTArduino.h

MQTTArduino.h:28:17: error: previous definition of ‘class Timer’ typedef struct Timer
error: redefinition of 'class Timer’
error: ‘Timer’ has no member named 'update’
error: ‘Timer’ has no member named ‘pulse’

I tryed the code and i get collisions with MQTT lib in few lines of library code.
Editing MQTT lib would not be smart because of the future projects.
If its is not mandatory to use Timer lib, use this one

GitHub - jfturcot/SimpleTimer: SimpleTimer library for Arduino

Works with old and new libs in my projects without any issues

Thanks fo reply.

Try to solve the problem at the source.
In my project I need a button (not a switch), something that emulates a button press for one second.

t.pulse(RELAY_DIGITAL_PIN5, 1500, 0); //pin, time(milliseconds), initial state

The function t.pulse, does nothing more than bring state 1 to 1500ms and return to 0.
It’s connected to a solid state relay which activates and deactivates a load.

Is there any other function in the new MQTT library that does this?

you can use this:

Cayenne.virtualWrite(Virtual_Pin, 0);

12

Cayenne.virtualWrite(Virtual_Pin, 0);

has not a timer .

You can also use millis() Using millis() for timing | Multi-tasking the Arduino - Part 1 | Adafruit Learning System
